For one look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ.

I ought to pray before seeing any one. Often when I sleep long, or meet with others early, it is eleven or twelve o'clock before I begin secret prayer. I feel it is far better to begin with God-to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another.

Joy is increased by spreading it to others.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

Go on, dear brother; but an inch of time remains, and then eternal ages roll on for ever--but an inch on which we can stand and preach the way of salvation to a perishing world.

God will either give you what you ask, or something far better.

Watch against lip religion. Above all abide in Christ and he will abide in you.
